Posted on August 2, 2012 by

Here I come again, poking my head in the door for a quickie before I roll on back to the land of Manwhores, work and summer chaos. The writing has been a little slow the last two weeks, because hours … Continue reading →

Notes From The Swamp

Posted on July 21, 2011 by

Imagine, if you will, that giants exist. I’m not talking 8 or 9 footers either. I mean giants so big that compared to them, we are teeny tiny ants. Now imagine that these humongous creatures have a gym. Yeah, I … Continue reading →

Facing Fear

Posted on July 19, 2011 by

This picture is a little blurrier than I’d like, but the fact that it exists at all is a point in my “kickass” column. I am completely and totally squicked out by spiders. It could be a lot worse. I think … Continue reading →

This weekend was filled with chaos, the smell of ass, and chocolate pudding. For my niece’s 14th birthday, my sister organized a camp-out party in my family’s backyard. My parents have the perfect yard for such a venture:  an inground pool, lots … Continue reading →

Woogie-Boogie

Posted on June 5, 2011 by

The Corn Lady of Hillbilly Road

Posted on May 30, 2011 by

June is often a bit of a struggle for me. I blame it on the abrupt change in the temperatures. One day, I’m enjoying May’s warm days and cool nights. Then, as if the hot weather has an alarm clock … Continue reading →

I Wish I Was A Nudist

Posted on May 5, 2011 by

That’s an empty wish, for me. I’ve never been one to walk around with butt-bits and boobage hanging out. In spite of my big mouth, I’m actually rather shy. But my sudden desire to be comfortable with nekkidness has nothing … Continue reading →
